I'm very excited to announce a new tool on my website that will definitely help consumers searching for real estate. I just upgraded the IDX on my Atlanta real estate website to a custom home search that allows buyers to search homes for sale with an interactive map as well as searching Atlanta homes for sale by subsivision, school district and basically, a complete custom search for all Atlanta homes. This should be a welcome resource as it is much more user friendly and intuitive than most of the other home search websites available in my area. Interestingly, the map search is quite a bit more helpful than I thought it would be and although it isn't the first search tool I would recommend you use at the beginning of your search, once you know more specifically where you would like to ...

We just sold our home in Atlanta from our Atlanta Real Estate Blog on Active Rain.  An Atlanta home buyer found our listing on the Internet within 2 days of writing a Blog on our own home for sale in Alpharetta, and made an appointment to see the home. I originally designed the Blog as a real estate flyer in www.Postlets.com and then published it on our Atlanta real estate Blog on Active Rain.  Within 2 days we had an appointment from a buyer that made an appointment to see our home.  They viewed our own home, and at the end of the 2 hour tour they said the home was just perfect for their needs, and wrote an offer.   They then identified the Atlanta real estate blog as the source to where they found our home.  We just closed on the sale last Friday.  I thought this was a great opportuni...

I was surfing the real estate news stories this evening when this real estate news article caught my eye.  It was in the Houston Chronicle online, and was entitled "Further decline in the number of real estate agents predicted!"  In the Atlanta real estate market a few years ago, we had about 12,500 agents, we now have 45,000.  The numbers of sales never grew exponentially, and now have returned to almost normal sales levels of about 5000 sales per month.  That is not enough income to sustain most agents in their monthly obligations such as mortgage payments, food, clothing, mortgage and auto payments.  There are 20% less closed sales in single family residential classes of real estate in Atlanta from last July 06 (6538 sales) vs. July 07 (5265).  In Condos and town homes a comparison o...

Melamine is low pressure laminate resin consisting of a white crystalline organic base. Melamine is mainly used to produce melamine resin when combined with formaldehyde produces a very durable thermoset plastic. Formaldehyde is a toxic carcinogen found in particleboard furniture. This furniture releases the highest concentration of pollutants into the air inside the home in the form of breathable dust and vapor particles.  Exposure to formaldehyde occurs when dust and vapors are breathed in.This plastic is often used in kitchen cabinets, glues, countertops and is the main constituent of Formica®. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, it is both a contaminant and byproduct of several pesticides. Melamine is on the Hazardous Substance List cited by National Toxicology Program...

The importance of a buyer's agent is derived from the principle that there are potentially many pitfalls associated with a real estate transaction; things you may never even think of. Caveat Emptor (buyer beware). A buyer's agent is your represenatative and advocate during the purchase. A home buyer should seek out a good buyer's agent who is focused on saving the buyer money through strong negotiations throughout the entire transaction; for homes listed in the MLS, the commission for the seller's agent and the buyer's agent is already built into the final price of the home. Perhaps, the home buyer doesn't need full service from their buyer's agent because they are willing to incur some of the legwork when shopping around or researching. In that case, a home buyer's rebate at a real est...

It's been discussed over and over how important relationships are to our business.  I'd like to share a quick example of how a staging relationship has further blossomed.I emailed one of my Atlanta-Area clients last week to remind her that her 90 day contract was about to expire and to decide if she wanted to continue month to month or destage.  She called me back and said she needed to think about it and would get back to me in a few days.  She said the home had significant traffic and everyone LOVED the way it looked just no offers.  My instinct was to apologize when she said "NO!  It's not you!  The house looks great!  This market sucks!"  It was suggested that she lower her price but she adamantly refused saying she already listed significantly lower than two properties on the same ...

123 LUCKIE STREET Condos123 LUCKIE STREETNot only is 123 Luckie such a memorable address, it is a memorable Loft building.  I like these Downtown Atlanta Lofts for many reasons that excite me about selling in this building.  123 Luckie Lofts won the 2001 Urban Design Award for its unique design.  Each unit has a unique floor plan, setting each unit apart from each other.  The 123 Luckie Loft Community has two separate buildings that are joined together by a beautiful courtyard with stone tables and benches for an outdoor retreat.  There are also two separate entrances into the parking garage.  And just about every unit at 123 Luckie comes with a storage unit. Within walking distance to 123 Luckie Lofts are several restaurants including next door neighbor Ted's Montana Grill, Starbucks, ...

Peachtree Orleans Condos in BuckheadPeachtree Orleans  Peachtree Orleans condos are located at 3675 Peachtree Road, just past  Phipps Plaza on the right going north towards Brookhaven.   There are four 2,2's available in the complex starting around $195,000 and moving up to $220,000.  Some units have been upgraded by previous owners, and HOA fees are very reasonable around $200 per month.   The location is unbeatable with Brookhaven and Chamblee to one side, and Buckhead with all of its business, dining and retail to the other side.  The set up is an open courtyard feel with gas lanterns and wrought iron covered balconies.  The units have exposed brick which provides tons of character, and some units even have 2 car covered garage parking.   Great values, great location and a friendly a...

The Chastain Park area of Atlanta is located on the northern side of Buckhead and borders the south side Sandy Springs. Chastain Park is one of the most popular areas of the Atlanta real estate market. Chastain Park itself is the largest park in Atlanta and is home to a golf course, numerous ball fields, swimming an equestrian center and the most famous activity, the amphitheater, which hosts music venues of all types from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra to the summer concert series with popular rock concerts, jazz artists and international musicians.Chastain Park real estate has seen a significant change over the last few years in which time many older brick ranch homes have been purchased, demolished and replaced with some of the finest new construction luxury homes anywhere in Atlanta...

The real estate market in Atlanta has changed over the past six months and much of that change is a direct result of larger changes taking place in the mortgage industry. The recent fallout with what are called subprime and ALT-A mortgages will have a negative impact on Atlanta homes for sale and the results are already being felt by buyers and sellers alike. This is likely to continue for the next several months, at the very least.The impact has, and will continue to be felt by homeowners and homebuyers in the real estate market under $500,000 as these are where buyers are more likely to have used these alternative mortgage products. The problem that will affect the higher end homes for sale in the Atlanta real estate market will be the immediate rise in what are called jumbo loans. Th...

One of my favorite area in Atlanta has to be Chastain Park and Chastain Park real estate exemplifies all that is great about a family neighborhood with great schools, excellent, healthy outdoor activities, lush landscaping and quiet streets. Chastain Park real estate reflects what is good about Atlanta real estate in so many ways. THe new construction homes are built by some of Atlanta's finest home bulders and Chastain Park itself offers so much variety in activities that there should literally be something for anyone to do. The public school districts that children attend with Chastain Park addesses are excellent and the overall environment is very healthy and provides an excellent place for kids to grow up. If you are relocating to Atlanta or considering moving up, I would like to su...

Well, we finally got an improved Atlanta homes for sale website! All Keller Williams agents have access to the free Wolfnet IDX solution, but, few have taken the time to learn how to use it effectively to customize individual url's to create custom searches. This was VERY time consuming, but, I think will help improve the usability for consumers considerably over the standard search. We created individual custom searches for Alpharetta, Roswell, Sandy Springs, Atlanta and we are working on Buckhead and Brookhaven as well. Each city can search homes for sale by price, broken down into categories, subdivisions, MLS number, zip code, address and so forth. We added new construction as a search tool as well. The Wolfnet IDX is a much better version to search Atlanta homes for sale than other...

I had an Interview with www.Bankrate.com and a topic came up during the course of the interview that really gets me going!  In the last few years the numbers of real estate agents that have come into the real estate industry are nothing short of incredible! Most of the new agentys even in good times would be doomed to failure, since there is an 80% turnover every two years.  In the Atlanta real estate market there has been a 300% increase in the numbers of real estate agents in the just the last few years, and sales have not grown.  The problem is that the agents that are out there right now in real estate have little, if no experience, and no one is guiding them! Real estate brokers, have take the training wheels off of the new agents, and pushed them out to play in traffic!  This tota...

Interested in Real estate blogging?  I am!  I just thought I would share with all today's featured article that was published in http://www.realtytimes.com/ It's all about real estate blogging as an extremely effective tool!  I learned that right here in Active Rain!  The http://www.realytimes.com/ article was entitled Real Estate Blogging: A Tool for Success!  I thought it was something you would like to read.  I'm very impressed with the power of blogging as applied as a real estate business tool!  For me it supplements that which I cannot accomplish with a website to capture more real estate business!  The article was based upon my own successes with my own Atlanta real estate blog, and new business that I've already closed from it!  I've noticed at least a 10% increase in web traffi...

There is no doubt that the Atlanta real estate market is slowing, but the truth of the matter is that sales have not stopped.  There is one difference between us an other agents, With our experience, we are still selling our listings!  There are many agents and Atlanta home owners that call us up everyday for advice on how to sell their homes, and really unless the home is listed by us, it is unfair and unethical for us to tell a home owner the real secrets of how to get the sale done!  This current Atlanta real estate market has a few factors that are affecting sales and slowing them down.  Supply and demand - Too many homes on the market - Not enough qualified buyers.New home over building - Builder Concessions - Builder incentivesNo corporate relocation into Metro AtlantaGas and Ener...

There are a lot of Atlanta homes homes listed for sale in the Atlanta Multiple Listing Services or MLS.  We have 2 Multiple listing services in Atlanta.  In GAMLS they are reporting 115052 Active Atlanta home and condos listings and FMLS is reporting 84986 Properties Found.  That is an awful lot of listings for this time of year. So that does not explain why we had so many listing calls in the last few weeks of home owners calling us to list their home for sale in late July.  It doesn't make sense. Since the Atlanta real estate market is mostly a local real estate market and is now void of any major corporate relocation...it does nto make sense to sell a home with school starting in just a few weeks.  When I mention that we had a lot of calls to list homes, it is more than just a few ho...

Ever wondered what you could do to help your local animal shelter or humane society? If you are like me, with a house already full of pets, adopting more is just not an option. So what else is there?For the past two years, I have hosted a barbeque at my house in the summer for friends, family and past clients called Hot Dogs for Homeless Dogs (and Cats!). It's all to benefit the Atlanta Humane Society. Guests bring donations for the animals (pet food, pet treats, pet supplies, old towels and blankets, sheets and newspapers, toys and supplies, like leashes and collars, etc.) and enjoy a fun summer afternoon cookout in return. I'm planning the third annual one right now!To help out your local shelter, you may want to organize a similar event. Or you can find out what their volunteer polic...
